Hi, Joerg,
Your email has been received and I read it carefully just now. Fedora 10's out, thanks for your hard work.
I am new to Fedora and Linux, I started using Fedora system from Fedora 9, it means I only use fedora for half an year. Fedora 9 is my first time to try Linux in the real sense. Fedora 9 is such an excellent linux distro that I like it so much, that's why I joined in as a Fedora Ambassador, what I wanted to do this at that time was just to prompt Fedora in China Mainland.
Thanks Bbbush (Yuan Yijun), with his leadership and help, we finally established our own fedora-cn Forum, I participated, actually, the forum is currently hosted in my Bluehost account, but, I did only a little.
Although I really like Fedora, and want to introduce it to others, and did something to reach this goal, but it's ineffective (only little).
I'm new to Fedora (and I didn't major in computer, Linux or IT), how and what do you think I can do to help build a Chinese fedora community? I will do what I can do to help prompt Fedora in China.
If you have any suggestions, please kindly tell me, Fedora 10 brings us a lot of latest Linux features, how can I introduce them to have a try, except introducing it in my own blog?
Sorry, Joerg, it's neally 00:00 our time, so maybe I will be late to reply you, it's as eariliest as 8 hours later...

Hello Huang and Charles,
As you know the Fedora Project is a global community with a common goal. Divided by EMEA, APAC, NA and LATAM we have already - or try to establish - regional leadership. In some Countries or Areas we have local Teams with special local requirements like the French, Indian or the South American Teams. The Chinese Community has grown much in the last month and i want to ask you Charles, is there a chance that you can help us by building a structured local Community in China? Another important requirement we have, is that you may help out, as a mentor for new Contributors from China? You know by yourself how many Informations you have to consider after joining the Project and how important it is to point people in the right direction or introduce them to the right people. You will get all our support and i have the promise from Paul that you will get the support from the Project Lead also.
Huang, as you could read we try to improve the structure and quality of the Fedora Presence in China. You are a Chinese Ambassador and you are located in Jena, Germany - this is not far away from my hometown Gera. I want invite you, to work with us as the EMEA liason to the Chinese Community. You are welcome to the Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2009 [1], which is near to your place, where we can meet face to face for a talk where you can show us the Chinese requirements and how we can help China and vice versa. Tell me what you think about this. Hope to see you soon.
Regards Joerg
